Instead of quantity, they might want to work on quality. After the prequels, I was glad when I heard Disney had taken over the franchise, and ‘The Force Awakens’ was certainly better than any of the prequels. But ‘Rogue One’ was simply boring and ‘The Last Jedi’ was as bad as any of the prequels - at some point, all of these bad movies are going to overcome the nostalgia many of us feel for the first two movies.

There are many REALLY good Star Wars books that would make excellent movies, ( The Order 66 series comes to mind), but Disney doesn’t already own the rights to them, and declared all of them no longer a part of the Star Wars sagas.

Psst, they are no longer making Star Wars films for you or anyone alive when any of the original trilogy came out.

It’s like when Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers were brought to the screens around 1980.

They weren’t adapting these franchises for the people who read the comic strips in the 1930s or watched the serials in the 1930s and 40s.

We are over 40 years since the release of Star Wars now.

It’s a brand name and the continuity has been scrap for modern trends.
